Gary Allegretto & Ian Espinoza

Blues Revue Magazine states "Gary Allegretto is one of the classiest acts in the music business today, working only with the best musicians and taking the time to craft music noted not only for its quality but for its authenticity."  His commitment has earned him the Blues Foundation's highest honor - their prestigious "Keeping the Blues Alive Award".

Allegretto has teamed up with virtuoso musician and long-time friend Ian Espinoza, whose long list of credits include work with legendary Ahmet Ertegun and Peter Asher, to deliver what Blues critics are calling "one powerhouse duo".   Indeed, their recordings together on Allegretto's independent record label have reached #11 on the Living Blues radio charts and received GRAMMY Award Nomination consideration in the "Best Contemporary Blues" category.

With peerless mastery of their respective instruments (Allegretto on diatonic, chromatic and bass harmonicas and Espinoza on acoustic and National steel guitar) this unique and dynamic duo deliver captivating live performances of exceptional musicianship, soulful vocals, deep harmonies, and their own original Blues songs that leave audiences at once breathless and cheering for more.
